Apps, automation and Google profiles for Essex businesses
We're an Essex business ourselves, based in Hutton, Brentwood. We work with businesses across the county, from Thames-side industry to seaside cafés, and we're happy to come and see you, A12 permitting.
Or start with something free:
Apps, automation, Google
Where we'd start for an Essex business
Whatever the town, the same three things tend to make the biggest difference first. Each one starts with something free.
App development in Essex
Web and mobile apps, customer portals and internal tools for Essex businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, sticky notes and "ask Dave, he knows how it works".
Quoted per project.
Business automation in Essex
We connect your website, CRM, bookings, payments and accounts so information moves on its own, and build the missing link when there isn't one.
Quoted per project.
Google Business Profile in Essex
Complete, accurate, active Google profiles, with service areas that match where you actually work in Essex and a simple way to collect genuine reviews.
Profile creation £80. Profile improvement £55.
Local know-how
One county, very different places
Essex isn't one market. The south-west is commuter country, with Brentwood, Billericay, Epping and Loughton closely tied to London. Chelmsford, the county town, is a city of offices, shops and services. Along the Thames, Basildon, Thurrock and Canvey Island are home to a lot of industry and logistics, and Southend brings the seaside and a big visitor economy.
Further north, Colchester, a city since 2022, has a large shopping and hospitality centre, a university and an army garrison. Harlow, like Basildon, was built as a new town. Braintree and Witham serve wide rural areas, the Tendring coast runs from Clacton-on-Sea to the port at Harwich, and Stansted Airport sits in the north-west of the county.
What works for a café in Leigh-on-Sea won't be what works for a distributor in Basildon. So we start every project by understanding how your business actually runs, then recommend the few things that will help most.
Where we are
Avalon House, 45 Tallon Road, Hutton, Brentwood: close to the A12, A127 and M25, so most of Essex is within reach.
How we work
In person across Essex where it helps, and by video call and email the rest of the time.

Ideas
What this could look like across Essex
Every business is different. These are examples of the kind of thing we set up, not past client projects. On a free chat, we'll work out which would actually help you.
We don't sell software you don't need. If a setting in a tool you already pay for will do the job, we'll tell you.
Professional firms
Client portals and onboarding forms connected to your practice software, so new clients are set up without the back-and-forth.
Trades
Missed-call text-back, online quote requests and mobile job sheets, so enquiries don't get lost while you're on site.
Hospitality on the coast and in town
Bookings, deposits and seasonal opening hours kept accurate on Google and your website.
B2B firms along the A127 and A13
Orders, stock and invoices flowing between your systems without re-typing.

Questions
Essex questions, answered
Which parts of Essex do you cover?
All of it. We're based in Hutton, Brentwood, and work with businesses from Southend and Basildon to Chelmsford, Colchester and Harlow, as well as east London.
Do you only work with Essex businesses?
No. We meet businesses in person around Essex and work remotely with clients anywhere in the UK.
Can you help a business with several sites across Essex?
Yes. Each location can have its own Google Business Profile, managed together, and we can connect bookings, enquiries and reporting across your sites so you see everything in one place.
Are your prices the same across Essex?
Yes. Our list prices are published on our pricing page, every job is quoted in writing before work starts, and no VAT is added because we're not VAT registered.
What's the quickest win for most local businesses?
Often the Google Business Profile. For many local businesses it's seen more than the website, and fixing categories, hours, photos and reviews is relatively quick. That's why the check is free.
